first exemplary embodiment
[0043]FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating an exemplary driving intention estimating system 1 according to the present disclosure. The driving intention estimating system 1 is provided with a vehicle's surrounding detector 10 configured to detect vehicle's surround of an own vehicle; a vehicle's status detector 20 configured to detect the vehicle's status; a real driver's operation detector 30 configured to detect an operation of a real driver of the own vehicle; a first imaginary driver's operation calculator 40; a second imaginary driver's operation calculator 50; a selector 60; a likelihood calculator 70; and a driver's driving intention estimator 80.
[0044]The system 1 has access to reference data, such as data related to a plurality of imaginary drivers. Same or different numbers or types of imaginary drivers may be used depending on the purpose of application or availability of data. Each of the plurality of imaginary drivers has or is given a driving intention, and each imag...
second exemplary embodiment
[0112]The constituent of the second exemplary embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1. The following descriptions address differences between the second exemplary embodiment and the first exemplary embodiment.
[0113]In the second exemplary embodiment, when lane marker is not detected by a front camera, an in-lane lateral position x of an own vehicle is calculated based on a lateral distance xv of a middle point between lateral ends of the front of the own vehicle from a middle point between lateral ends of the rear of the preceding vehicle.
[0114]The operation of the second exemplary embodiment is described in detail using FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a flow chart illustrating process steps of a driving intention estimating program in the driving intention estimating system. Execution of this program is repeated at a regular interval of 50 milliseconds.
[0115]The flow chart illustrated in FIG. 8 has steps S201, S202 and S203, which correspond...
third exemplary embodiment
[0128]The constituent of the third exemplary embodiment is substantially the same as that of the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1. The following descriptions mainly address differences of the third exemplary embodiment from the first exemplary embodiment.
[0129]In the third exemplary embodiment, when lane marker is not detected by a front camera, an in-lane lateral position x of an own vehicle is calculated based on a value x0 of the in-lane lateral position x when the lane marker has been lost and the lateral movement of the own vehicle.
[0130]The operation of the third exemplary embodiment is described in detail using FIG. 11. FIG. 11 is a flow chart illustrating process steps of a driving intention estimating program in the driving intention estimating system. Execution of this program is repeated at a regular interval of 50 milliseconds. The flow chart illustrated in FIG. 11 has steps S301, S302 and S303, which correspond exactly to the steps S101, S102 and S103 of the f...
